I am big on
networking. Maybe a little too big.
Lately, I have been trying to get myself out there in an effort to connect with
my dream role. My strategy has been
to use existing connections to talk with people who seem to be “living the
dream” and then ask them how they do it.
The biggest
challenge is getting time with the people who fit my criteria. Apparently,
passionate people are very busy. In the past 7 days, I have had to reschedule 4
appointments with 3 different individuals. It seems as if my networking is mostly with the Outlook calendars filled with busy blobs of blue blocks. Today, I decided to take a different
approach.
My new
approach:
·
Lead
with my meeting objectives
·
Be
super flexible, understanding, and positive
·
Make
Outlook my friend not enemy
·
Be
prepared to have impactful conversations and act on the results
·
Be
FLEXIBLE! My dreams are worth it.
